Qty. to Receive Field, Purchase Line Table
Specifies how much of the line you expect to receive.
Important
This field is only used when you post orders.
Each time the Quantity field is updated, the program will enter the outstanding quantity (the quantity that has not yet been received) in this field when you post the order. The outstanding quantity is the difference between quantity and quantity received.
The contents of this field can be changed each time you receive items.
When you post, you will not create a receipt unless the order contains at least one line for which the Qty. to Receive field is not zero. Otherwise the following message will appear:
"There is nothing to post."
The contents of this field can be revised for partial receipts.
Warehouse Management and Warehouse Activities
If the location on the purchase order line is set up to require receive processing, the Qty. to Receive field will not be filled in. If you try to fill in this field, the program will inform you that anything entered here will be disregarded by the warehouse operations. If the warehouse activities have not been started yet and you want to speed-up an order and receive and invoice directly from the purchase order, you can still do so.
If warehouse activities have started, the value in this field and the receipt posting can only be controlled by the warehouse receive document. If you try to fill in this field, the program will give you a warning that anything entered here is disregarded by the warehouse operations.
If you want to bypass the warehouse operations, you must cancel the warehouse activities for this line.
